So, what do you guys nickname your Pokemon? My Chikorita's nickname is "Chikuru," and of course I have the obligatory purposeless Magikarp I caught just for the sake of naming it "Anus"... XD

I usually name my Pokemon either nothing, random stuff or give it a name I really like.

Or I theme the nicknames after songs from my favourite bands.

Whatever feels right. In Crystal I have a team of 17 Pokémon, each named after the type I wanted to use them for. (Not like I play Crystal much anymore, though....) Previously in Gold, I had an unfortunately nonshiny Furret ♀ named Raspberry and a Meganium ♂ named AutumnLeaf, in honor of McCionnaith's shiny Otachi (Sentret) ♀ Raspberry and nonshiny Kinokoko (Shroomish) ♂ Autumn. In Gold now (I traded Rasp and AL to Silver), I have Rani the Rhydon ♀, Glub (gloob) the Golem ♀, Cindery the Corsola ♀, Suit the Sudowoodo ♂, and nonteam member Oracle the Onix ♂. Rani doesn't feel right anymore, but I'm not sure what to change it to. Rana (♀) and Raja (♂) are her parents, both Rhyhorn.

Hmm...If I told you all my Pokemon names, I could make an entire page worth.
Here are ten of my Pokemon
CHIKORITA: CHIKO
TOTODILE: AQUADUDE
CYNDAQUIL: CYNTH
GYARADOS: GYRO
EEVEE: ERISE
EKANS: SNAKE
MARILL: MARY
LUGIA: LUISE
HO-OH: OH-HO
SENTRET: TRENT for male TRIXIE for female
I have alot of Pokemon. I would put more on if I could. But like I said, It would take up a page.

That's all i can think of right now, but there's probably couple that i missed...

Every time I catch(or want to catch) a pokemon, I almost always have a name waiting. I named my Gyrados Hydro.

I give them nicknames of Soccer Players, depending on the stats or their names
Feraligatr: Király
Kangaskhan: OliverKahn
Togepi: Tököli
Quagsire: Quashie (It was called Wooter when was the young Wooper)
Lugia: Lugăo
Masquerain (in a PC Ruby version): Mascherano

Things like that

I dont usually give nicknames in-game, but here are some of the ones I've used online:

That's all i can think of right now, but there's probably couple that i missed...

Those names made me laugh so hard. I never would have thought someone would name a Snorlax SlimShady or a Miltank PurpleNurple. Those are awesome names.They sound like names Pokemon would use if that could use the internet lol

I didn't start nicknaming my Pokemon untill I got Fire Red. I wanted to nickname my Crystal Pokemon, but I'm no good at coming up with good names. I've gotten a little better though ^^;

Twilight (daybreak)/Dawn (day) the Espeon
Dusk (night) the Umbreon
Corona (Sun's halo) the Flareon
Aquamaria (Because I didn't want people to think I only got it from the movie) the Vaporeon
Voltz II (There was already a Voltz I had in LG, and LG was my first game)

Rh[i/y]nestone the Rhy[don/horn]

There are ithers I dont feel like posting atm.

I mostly don't nickname my pokes, 'cause I simply find a name original enough. But there are some I really like to give a nickname:
Raptile-Feraligatr
Blade-Scizor
Dusk-Umbreon
Lax-Snorlax

I normally nickname the Pokémon I capture after people I know, animé & computer games characters.
